US consumer borrowing jumped in June by the most in four years, led by a gain in non-revolving debt, including student loans.
Credit increased by $15.5 billion, three times as much as projected and the biggest gain since August 2007, after a $5.08 billion advance in May that was little changed from the previous estimate, the Federal Reserve said on Saturday in Washington.
